Waiting three years to renovate their new Wellesley, Massachusetts, residence may not have been the original plan, but it ended up being a blessing in disguise for these homeowners. The family, who had been living in another part of Wellesley, was craving a larger space to entertain. They landed on an 8,000-square-foot five-bed-room spec house built-in 2019 on an idyllic lot.

To help achieve their goals, the owners called on designer Tiffany LeBlanc. “The house didn’t require major work, but the space wasn’t being fully optimized,” says the client. “I also knew that I wanted a different aesthetic than we had in the past, and Tiffany has great versatility. I didn’t want it to feel too traditional or too contemporary. Simply elegant.”

In the dining room, designer Tiffany LeBlanc painted the existing paneling in a high-gloss Farrow & Ball shade called Dead Salmon; the built-in bar is a new addition.

The family room, with its stone fireplace and wood-planked ceiling, is positioned between the kitchen and the screened porch and serves as the heart of the home

But instead of adding permanent walls, which would block out much of the natural light, In the eat-in kitchen, a light fixture from The Urban Electric Co. hangs above a table by Altura and a rug from Patterson Flynn.

The existing kitchen remained largely untouched aside from lighting changes. “The builder had done a nice job with it,” says LeBlanc. “To the homeowners’ credit, they didn’t feel the need to strip everything out.”

A casual entertaining space on the basement level contains a sofa and chairs from Porada, ottomans from Normann Copenhagen, and a light fixture from Visual Comfort & Co.

Guests love this cozy basement-level bedroom with its scenic Thibaut wallpaper and plush bench from OKA.

In the combination craft area and workspace (also on the basement level), custom shelving and a coordinating desk are joined by Potocco chairs; the room divider is from Masterpiece Woodworks.

Interior Designer Tiffany LeBlanc strikes a balance between the historical integrity of a late 19th-century victorian and the comfort level of those who call it home. “The house is cohesive, it unfolds graciously,” LeBlanc observes. The homeowner’s gratitude is immeasurable: “Tiffany helped me make the house my own,” she says. “It’s prettier, lighter, happier, and fresher.”

Tiffany LeBlanc of LeBlanc Design collaborated with Battle Associates Architects and KVC builders on the mindful renovation that honors the traditional craftsmanship of the original home but also incorporates contemporary touches.

“The owner really liked the historic nature of the house and wanted to stay true to that, but they also wanted modern-day living amenities,” says LeBlanc, we created comfortable, flowing spaces enhanced by the soft tones of patterned rugs, and a sense of serenity.

When Tiffany LeBlanc met with new clients who had purchased a unit in One Dalton, the sky-high location of Boston’s Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences, she recalls the husband emphasizing that, despite the building’s rarefied pedigree, he didn’t want to live in a museum.

“Everything was supposed to be livable, not so precious that you need to be in a starched shirt to live there,” says LeBlanc.

For the designer, however, livability by no means translated into rough-and-ready grandkid-friendly fabrics and furnishings. Architect Anne Snelling-Lee, who worked with LeBlanc to realize and detail her designs, says, “It’s the most luxurious project I’ve ever worked on. It had so many applied finishes.”

Tiffany LeBlanc firmly believes that great design is meant to be experienced — not simply admired from afar. And it shows in her work. Never too precious for a family movie night or a boisterous dinner party with friends, the interior designer’s polished but welcoming living spaces encourage interaction. Case in point: a family room in a new Wellesley build where a textured carpet and delicate veining on the stone fireplace surround beg to be touched.

After working with the builders to carefully select the construction materials, from cabinetry to paint colors, LeBlanc started in on outfitting the 6,300-square-foot home. To bridge the style shift from the classic front door to the modern interior, she began in the foyer, forgoing white trim for soft gray paint, and installing a circular entry table and a wool runner with a “whisper of an animal pattern” padding the path upstairs. Right away, LeBlanc set the laid-back mood: “They didn’t want to feel like they were wearing a starched shirt to hang out in the house,” she says of the owners’ vision.

When Tiffany LeBlanc of LeBlanc Designs first started with the clients of this 8,266-square-foot home, the project actually wasn’t for the property. In fact, she was originally hired to redesign the first floor of the family’s former Wellesley abode, which boasted more formal touches like a princess staircase. And then the wife called. “She was like, ‘I don’t know. We’ve been thinking… I know that we’ve been working to deformalize our original house… we may just want a less formal house,” LeBlanc remembers. Located in Weston, MA.

I’m a native Bostonian, but also… grew up in Northern California and Italy.

I would describe myself as… a true transitional designer, but I have a love affair with modern and traditional—I like both, and it depends on what the space needs.

When working with clients, my goal… is to come up with the most refined and distilled design in the most efficient way while also honoring the creative process. Clear communication is essential.

In design school, I wanted… very clear guidelines in black and white, but I was taught to see in gray.

My favorite quote about beauty is… by Da Vinci—‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.’

Some home innovations I love are… statement lighting, more approachable sophistication to suburban homes and the architectural nature of well-designed furniture.
